Repeat Problem 14.9, assuming the backfill slopes at 30∘ to the horizontal.

Problem 9

Check the adequacy of the cantilever retaining wall shown in Fig. 14.22 for both sliding and overturning conditions. Use a key of 1.5 × 1.5 ft if needed. Then determine reinforcement needed for the stem, heel, and toe, and choose adequate bars and distribution. Given: Weight of soil = 120 pcf, the angle of internal friction is &#120601; = 35∘, the coefficient of friction between concrete and soil is 0.52 and that between soil layers is 0.70. Use f ′ c = 3 ksi, fy = 60 ksi, an allowable soil pressure of 4 ksf, and a surcharge of 300 psf.

Determine the dimensions of a cantilever retaining wall to support a bank of earth 16 ft high. Assume that frost penetration depth is 4 ft. Check the safety of the retaining wall against overturning...

The dimensions of a cantilever retaining wall are shown in the figure. Using the given listed data, determine the following: (a) the over-turning moment, (w_OT) (b) the stabilizing moment, (M_s) (c)...
